The mechanism by which cysteine-S-sulfate is formed from the reaction of sulfite with cystine in the absence of a dedicated oxidizing agent is investigated using high-resolution NMR. Changes to reactant ratio, pH, UV light exposure and temperature were evaluated to determine the most effective conditions to achieve the maximum yield of cysteine-S-sulfate without recourse to conventional oxidizing reagents. Herein evidence is provided for both nucleophilic and radical mechanisms, by which cysteine-S-sulfate can be generated with yields of up to 96%.
使用高分辨率 NMR 研究了亚硫酸根与胱氨酸在没有专用氧化剂的情况下形成半胱氨酸-S-硫酸盐的反应机制。通过改变反应物比例、pH 值、紫外线照射和温度来评估最有效的条件,以在不使用传统氧化剂的情况下获得最大的半胱氨酸-S-硫酸盐产率。本文提供了亲核和自由基两种机制的证据,通过这两种机制可以生成高达 96%的半胱氨酸-S-硫酸盐。
